Skyz Metro FM is a commercial radio[1] station based in the metropolitan province of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
In 2020, Skyz Metro FM was reported to be on a mission to expand its coverage to the greater parts of Matabeleland region[2] and is now accessible in areas including Gwanda, Filabusi, Fort Rixon, Avoca, Khami, Esibomvu, Shangani, Matopo, Lochard, Mulungwane, Nyamandlovu, Redbank, Greystone, Collen Bawn and Ntabazinduna to mention a few.
This move was applauded by communities of Matabeleland, especially the artists that expressed marginalisation by the national radio stations.
It has played a huge role since its establishment by providing an alternative voice for the people in the area through its interactive talk shows engaging the city council, the police, government organisations, churches and many other organisations and institutions on issues affecting the community and the region.
Some media critics from other regions accused the two Bulawayo radio stations for sounding more like South African radio stations due to the use of Matabeleland languages that include iSiNdebele, iSiXhosa, SeTswana and SeSotho among others, and also by heavily playing music by the Nguni people.
